The principles of the design of responsive luminescent probes and sensors based on
lanthanide emission are summarised, based on a mechanistic understanding of their mode …

The chemistry of the less familiar elements is a fascinating topic especially for the inorganic
minded. The lanthanides, or rare earths, comprise the 5d block of the periodic table and …

Coordination chemistry has been widely studied in lanthanide complexes, where organic
ligands are used to chelate individual lanthanide ions, and the complexes are broadly used …

Recent developments (2012 and onwards) in the design and application of luminescent
lanthanide-based complexes for chemical sensing are reviewed. Sensors for a variety of …

This study demonstrates high contrast and sensitivity by designing a dual-emissive hydrogel
particle system, whose two emissions respond to pH and temperature strongly and …

Luminescent lanthanide complexes display unrivalled spectroscopic properties, which place
them in a special category in the luminescent toolbox. Their long-lived line-like emission …

In recent years, the development of optical probes to analyse trace palladium ions (Pd2+)
has attracted great attention because of the residual palladium released by catalytic …

A dual-emitting luminescent lanthanide/transition heterometal-organic frameworks of Eu/Zr-
MOF was synthesized by incorporation of Eu 3+ ions into NH 2-UiO-66 under microwave …

The design principles, mechanism of action and performance of europium (III) complexes
that serve as strongly emissive and responsive molecular probes in water are critically …

Luminescent lanthanide (Ln (III)) complexes with coumarin or carbostyril antennae were
synthesized and their photophysical properties evaluated using steady-state and time …
